A closed Nottinghamshire pub is set for a new future as new housing. The Yew Tree pub, in Nottingham Road, Hucknall, would be converted to nine separate self-contained flats split across the floors of the premises, if councillors follow a recommendation from council officers to give approval at Ashfield District Council's planning committee on October 26.
It is understood the public house ceased trading in early 2022 after struggling throughout the Covid pandemic. The existing building has living accommodation at first floor which comprises of a self-contained three-bedroom flat with associated living space, with storage space at second floor level.
A limited number of alterations are proposed to the exterior of the property, including the installation of new dormer windows to facilitate rooms within the roof space and the removal of existing windows and doors. The existing cellar/basement at the site is proposed to be closed off.
